8. Connection (Cascading Multiple KVM Switches)
The number of connected computers/servers can be increased to up to 256 by
cascading an additional level of KVM switches from the B070-016-19-IP. You
can cascade any combination of B072-008-1 and B072-016-1 KVM switches.
In a cascade installation, the B070-016-19-IP is the rst level KVM, and all
KVMs cascaded from it are second level KVMs. To cascade additional KVM
switches, follow the instructions below.
Note:
• If a user has been granted access to a port with a second level KVM
connected to it, then they will have access to all of the ports on that KVM.
The only security settings available for the second level KVM ports are
those found in that KVMs OSD.
• SecondlevelKVMportaccesswillbelimitedtothatKVM’sOSDmenu
and keyboard hotkey commands.
• TheB070-016-19-IPwillnotstorethevideoandmousesettingsforsecond
level KVM ports. The user will need to adjust these settings each time they
access a computer/server connected to a second level KVM.
1. Before connecting a second level KVM, you must rst change its hotkey to
something different than that of the rst level KVM. To do this, you must
connect a keyboard and monitor to the console ports on the second level
KVM, so that you can access its OSD. When connected, open the second
level KVM OSD using the default [Shift] [Shift] hotkey and navigate to
the GENERAL SETTINGS page of the F2 SETTINGS menu. Change the
hotkey according to the Hotkey section.
2. Connect a Cat5e/6 cable from an available B070-016-19-IP port to a B078-
101-PS2 SIU. Note: The distance between the rst and second level KVMs,
and between the second level KVMs and connected computers, must not
add up to more than 100 ft..
3. Connect the VGA and PS/2 connectors on the B078-101-PS2 to the console
ports of a B072-008-1 or B072-016-1 KVM switch.
4. Open the B070-016-19-IP local OSD and navigate to the PORTS SETTINGS
page of the F2 SETTINGS menu. Highlight the port that you just connected the
second level KVM to and set its hotkey according to the Ports Settings section.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each additional second level KVM switch you
wish to connect.
6. Connect a computer/server to an available port on a second level KVM
switch using Cat5e/6 cable and a B078-101-PS2 or B078-101-USB Server
Interface Unit (SIU). Note: The distance between the rst and second level
KVMs, and between the second level KVMs and connected computers,
must not add up to more than 100 ft.
7. Repeat step 5 for each computer you are connecting.
9. Initial Settings (Default IP Address)
By default, the B070-016-19-IP is set to have the network’s DHCP server pull an IP Address for it. Referencing the unit’s Mac address, which can be found on the
console’s bottom panel, have your network administrator provide you with the IP address assigned by the DHCP server. If the B070-016-19-IP is not connected
to a network with a DHCP server, it will boot up with the default IP address 192.168.0.155. To set up your own static IP address, you must login to the B070-
016-19-IP Web Conguration Interface, disable DHCP and enter in the desired address information. (See the Device section for details.) Note:Ifyou’reKVM

13. Users
The Users page allows administrators to add, edit, delete and block users in the KVM
installation. There are two types of accounts that can be created: Administrator and
User. Up to 200 total accounts can be created, with any combination of user types.
The following section describes the differences between these account types, and
details how to add, edit, delete and block accounts.
Administrator – Administrators are the only type of user that can access
the Web Conguration Interface, of which they have unrestricted access.
Administrators also have unrestricted access to all ports on the installation,
allowing them to connect to, view and operate connected computers.
User – Users do not have access to the Web Conguration Interface. Users
can both remotely view and operate connected computers, but their access
is limited to the ports assigned to them by an administrator in the Web
Conguration Interface. Users have access to all of the settings in the remote
toolbar except for the Advanced section of the Manual Mouse Settings. (See
Remote Toolbar section for details.)
Adding an account:
1. Click the Add button to activate Add User screen.
2. Enter in a username and password for the new account, entering the password
a second time for conrmation. Under Standard Security Policy, the
password must be 6 characters or more, and must not include the username.
Stricter password specications can be implemented if an administrator
activates the High Security Policy in the Security Settings section of the Web
Conguration Interface. (See Security section for details on High Security
Policy.) Usernames and passwords can contain unlimited characters, but
must not include the following special characters: & < > “ { }
3. Select the desired account type from the Permission drop-down menu.
4. Click the Cancel button at any time to stop the new account from being
added. Click the OK button to add the new account to the account list.
5. Click the Save button at the top of the screen to save your changes.
Editing an account:
1. Highlight the desired account in the account list and click the Edit button to
activate Edit User screen.
2. Edit the desired account information.
3. Click the Cancel button at any time to stop the changes from being saved.
Click the OK button to apply the changes.
4. Click the Save button at the top of the screen to save your changes.
Deleting an account:
1. Highlight the desired account in the account list and click the Delete button.
2. A prompt will appear asking if you want to delete the selected user. Click
Yes to delete the account, or No to keep it.
3. Click the Save button at the top of the screen to save your changes.
Blocking an account:
Instead of deleting an account, which removes it from the KVM entirely, an
administrator can block an account. Blocking an account allows the account
information to remain in the KVM, but blocks that account from accessing
the KVM. The account can then be restored at any time in the future by an
administrator. To block/unblock an account, follow the steps below.
1. Highlight the desired account and click the Edit button.
2. In the Edit User screen, check the Block checkbox, and then click the OK button.
3. Click the Save button at the top of the screen to save your changes.

14. Switch Configuration
Server Name
The Switch Configuration page allows users to give each port a unique name,
making it easier to differentiate between them. By default, ports are named
as Server 1, Server 2, Server 3, etc. To edit port names, simply highlight
the name of the desired port on the Switch Configuration page and type in
whatever name you want. To save the new port name, click the Save button.
15. User Targets
The User Targets page allows administrators to choose which ports an
account has access to. Although this feature allows administrators to deny
other administrators access to ports on the KVM, it allows administrators
to set their own port access rights, which gives them the ability to undo any
changes to their port access settings made by another administrator. To assign
port access rights to an account, follow the steps below. Note: If an account is
given access to a port that has a second level KVM cascaded from it, they will
have access to each port on that KVM. Security settings for ports on a second
level KVM must be set within its own OSD.

16. Security
The Security Settings Screen allows the Administrator to modify settings
such as Account Blocking, Password Policy and Idle Timeout.
Account Blocking: This allows the administrator to adjust the settings that
cause a user to be blocked from access after entering an incorrect username
and/or password. The administrator can select how many attempts the user
gets to enter the correct information, the time frame within which those
attempts must be made and how long the user is forbidden access after failing
to enter the correct information in the given time period.
Password Policy: You have the option of a standard or high security level
password. The table below shows the parameters of the 2 options.
Note: The following “special” characters: & < > ” { } cannot be used
in either the user name or password. Check the box to enable the high
security password policy. Unchecked, the standard security policy applies.
Idle Timeout: Select the Timeout inactivity period after which the user is
disconnected from the system. Choose No Timeout to disable Timeout. During
a Timeout, a user will not be able to make changes in the Web Conguration
Interface, nor will they be able to move throughout the Interface’s pages
without re-entering their username and password.
Click Save & Restart to save any conguration changes done to the Security
Settings page. The NetCommander IP system restarts with the new changes.
Standard Security Policy High Security Policy

administrator (if this is the rst time the KVM is being accessed, use the
default username admin and password access), and select the Remote
Access option from the drop-down menu beneath the username and
password elds. Click the Enter key to proceed. When rst connecting to
the KVM, an Auto Video Adjust will be performed. When this is complete,
moving your mouse should cause the local and remote mouse pointers
to align. If you’re local and remote mouse pointers do not sync up, or
if you are experiencing slow response time, you may need to adjust the
performance, video and/or mouse settings via the remote toolbar. These
settings are explained later in this manual.
Remote Session Screen
When you initiate a remote session for the rst time, the screen of the rst
computer in the installation that you have access to is displayed. Subsequent
remote sessions will open with the screen of the last computer that you
accessed in your previous session displayed. The NetCommander KVM
allows up to 5 users to login at the same time and share a remote session.
When you login to a shared session, the remote screen appears with a prompt
that informs you that you’re connected to a shared session.
When in a shared session, the control of the mouse and keyboard is transferred
from user to user. As soon as one user stops using the keyboard and mouse,
another user can immediately jump in and control the remote session. The
following sections describe the various aspects of a remote session.

25. Remote Toolbar
The NetCommander KVM provides a toolbar that allows the remote session to be manipulated. The features on the toolbar allow you to toggle between
accessible ports, adjust the video settings of the remote session, align the local and remote mouse pointers, etc. When a remote session is initiated, the toolbar
is collapsed, and a thin bar appears at the top-center of the screen. To expand the toolbar, simply move the mouse pointer over the blue bar at the top-center of
the screen. The following sections describe the different settings found on the toolbar and how to use them.
Pin Toolbar – Click on this icon to switch between displaying the toolbar all the time and allowing it to disappear after a few seconds. The toolbar is
set to disappear after a few seconds by default.
Session Profile – Clicking on this icon will display a drop-down list with three choices; Session Profile, Log Off and About….
About
Select this option to pull up a screen that displays rmware versions of the
KVM switch.
Video – Clicking on this icon allows you to adjust the video settings of
the remote session. The settings in this section are described below.
Refresh
In the event that the video of the remote computer does not fully refresh on its
own, select this option to manually refresh it.
Video Adjust
Upon switching ports, a Auto Video Adjust is performed to bring the remote
computer’s video in line with that of the local computer. In the event that the
initial Auto Video Adjust is not successful, or does not initiate on its own,
select this option to manually perform an Auto Video Adjust.
Session Profile
Selecting the session prole option pulls up a screen that allows you to
congure how a remote session is displayed when you login, and to make
your session exclusive, preventing other users from logging in at the same
time. The contents of this screen are described below.
• Local Mouse Pointer – Choose how the local mouse pointer is displayed
in a remote session. Checking None will display the remote computer’s
mouse pointer only. Checking Dot will display the local mouse pointer as
a dot, and the remote mouse pointer as an arrow. Checking Default will
display both local and remote mouse pointers as arrows.
• On Connect – Check the Auto Hide option to cause the toolbar to hide
itself after a few seconds starting from the next time a remote session is
initiated. When unchecked, the toolbar will be continuously displayed.
Check the Full Screen option to display the remote session in full screen
mode starting from the next time a remote session is initiated. When
unchecked, the remote session will be displayed inside your web browser.
• Exclusive Session – When you are the only one logged into a remote
session, checking this checkbox will prevent others from logging in at the
same time. When unchecked, up to 5 users can share a remote session.
• Log Off – Selecting this option will log you out of the KVM Switch.

Advanced
If an Auto Video Adjust does not result in acceptable video settings, selecting this
option will bring up a screen that allows you to manually adjust these settings.
The table below describes the settings in the Advanced screen.
Setting Description
Brightness Position the slider bar to adjust the video Brightness from a
setting between 0 and 100.
Contrast Position the slider bar to adjust the video Contrast from a
setting between 0 and 100.
H. Offset Use the up and down arrows to adjust the horizontal positioning
of the remote video.
V. Offset Use the up and down arrows to adjust the vertical positioning
of the remote video.
Phase Use the up and down arrows to dene the point at which each
pixel is sampled.
Scale Use the up and down arrows to dene the scale resolution of
the remote image.
Select Filter
Choose the level of lter that you wish to place on the remote
video. A higher lter will produce a poorer image, but can help
improve keyboard and mouse response time. By default, this
setting is set to Auto, which determines the lter level based on
the current noise level.
Noise
This bar represents the amount of video noise present when
a static screen is displayed. The more noise, the slower your
keyboard and mouse response time will be. Note: If the video
noise level is above zero, the Calibration function (See Calibrate
on page 20 for details) in the Mouse drop-down may not work.
25. Remote Toolbar (Continued)
Performance
Selecting the Performance option pulls up a screen that allows you to
determine the amount of color that is displayed in the remote video.
When the Fixed performance mode is checked, you can select from the
bandwidth options on the right of the screen. A higher setting results in more
colors being displayed and a better quality picture, but can hinder keyboard
and mouse response time. In slower networks, where keyboard and mouse
response time is choppy, selecting a low bandwidth can help improve
performance. When the Adaptive performance mode is checked, the bandwidth
is automatically set by the KVM according to the network conditions.
Keys – Click on this icon to display a list of keyboard key sequences
that can be sent directly to the remote computer, without affecting the local
computer. For example, when pressing the [Control] [Alt] [Delete] command
on the keyboard, the command gets sent to the local computer instead of
the remote computer. By selecting this command from the Keys drop-down,
you can perform the command on the remote computer. To add/remove a
command from the list, select the Special Keys option in the Keys drop-down.
The following screen appears.

Calibrate
For remote computers running Windows NT4, 98 or 2000, selecting the Calibrate feature will automatically detect the remote mouse speed settings and make the
necessary adjustments to align the local and remote mouse pointers. If the mouse settings on the remote computer were ever changed, or if the remote computer
is running an operating system other than Windows NT4, 98 or 2000, you will have to adjust the mouse settings manually via the Mouse Settings….. screen. (See
Mouse Settings….. below for details.) To calibrate the local and remote mouse pointers, click on the Calibrate feature in the Mouse drop-down menu. A prompt
will appear on the screen to inform you that calibration is taking place. If the two mouse pointers don’t align after the prompt disappears, try moving the mouse
cursor around the screen, which can cause them to align. If that doesn’t work, click on the Align feature in the Mouse drop-down menu to bring the two together.
(See Align below for details) If they still do not align, follow the manual mouse synchronization steps in the Mouse Settings…. section below.
Align
When logging into the KVM or accessing a new port, the local and remote mouse pointers may not be aligned. This does not always mean that they are not set
up properly. Click on the Align feature in the Mouse drop-down menu to bring them together. If this does not bring the local and remote mouse pointers into
alignment, follow the steps in the Calibration (See above) and/or Mouse Settings…. (See below) sections.
25. Remote Toolbar (Continued)
Mouse Settings……
If you are unable to get the local and remote mouse pointers to align using the
Calibrate and/or Align features, you will need to manually adjust the mouse
settings. Click on the Mouse Settings… feature in the Mouse drop-down to
bring up the following screen.
• Operating System – Select the operating system of the selected remote
computer from this drop-down menu. The screen will update to display
settings appropriate to the selected operating system. If the mouse settings of
the remote computer have never been changed, leave the Default checkbox
that appears checked. If the mouse settings of the remote computer have
ever been changed (even if they were changed and then returned to the
original settings), uncheck the Default checkbox and edit the settings to
match that of the remote computer.
• USB – This checkbox should be checked if the remote computer is
connected using a B078-101-USB SIU, or a B078-101-PS2 SIU with a
PS/2 to USB adapter.
• Advanced – Clicking the Advanced button brings up the screen below,
which allows you to select what type of mouse is connected to the local
console port on the NetCommander IP. For example, select Standard
Mouse when using a 2-button mouse or 2-button touchpad. Select Wheel
Mouse for any mouse/touchpad with 3 or more buttons. Check Microsoft
Mouse if the mouse being used is made by Microsoft.
• Max Rate – This denes the maximum mouse report rate. A setting of
Default is compatible with the majority of operating systems. For older
versions of Sun, use a Max Rate setting of 20.
Once all of the mouse settings have been set, click the OK button to return
to the remote screen. Upon moving the mouse, the local and remote mouse
pointers should align. If needed, use the Align feature in the Mouse drop-
down menu to bring them together.
